Subject: [PATCH] flashrom.c: Reorder list of options to test

If a chip is unknown the user is asked to test and report the result to the 
mailing list. Having `-VE` listed as the last option can result in an 
unbootable system for users not knowing what the command does, since rebooting 
the system after that command is fatal since the flash chip is empty. [1]

Reorder the options as a quick fix to prevent that in the future as suggested 
by idwer on #flashrom.
